First Place in Veteran - Dog or Bitch, Judge: Anna Duxbury (Ridgebow)
I would very much like to thank the officers and committee for offering me my first club show in this lovely light, large hall. The hospitality was wonderful! Thanks also to the efficient ring stewards and most of all to all the exhibitors for their wonderful entry and allowing me the privilege of going over their dogs. Sincere thanks for the sporting manner in which my decisions were accepted. Temperaments on the day were excellent, coats were very varied – some good dogs were penalised for not having double coat. No mouths were undershot and all male dogs were entire.
8 and a half year old eyecatching fit red grizzle dog. Super head and varminty expression. Short strong muzzle. Straight forelegs and good angulation all around. Built on larger frame but spannable. Very good pelt and just enough topcoat through today to secure top spot. Looks active and game – good sound mover if a little wide in front. Best Veteran.
